Flashback to all that bullshit collecting flags and feathers in Assassin's Creed, and the pigeons in GTA. Busywork achievements just to pad out gameplay are stupid.

Recently I was musing about the fact how strange it is that I have crammed my Steam and GOG-libraries full of group-based dungeon crawlers, and even have lots of those (like almost every part of the Etrian Odyssey series) on my old 3DS, but none on my Switch. Does the Switch have something like those games, you know, the ones were you make up a group of weirdos with silly names and even sillier professions, and then let them climb down into a cave to get murdered by large monsters?

Dungeon Encounters is minimalist but scratches that itch pretty well. Labyrinth of Refrain is great mechanically, phenomenal musically, and has an overall emotionally impactful plot with some big yikes moments early on. I feel like there was one other Switch dungeon dive I enjoyed but I can't bring it to mind right now.

Triangle Strategy silliness I just really should have lost a battle. I started with 12 troops and everyone died except Anna There were 3 enemy archers, two battlemages, a healer, and the hardest boss I have yet fought. I just attacked, hid, attacked, hid and managed to kill them all just with Anna. I did get spotted once and almost died but managed to hide and use her natural healing ability while stocking up TP. It's probably going to cost me in my next fight but lol

I made it a fair way into Undernauts before burning out on it. Somehow nothing other than Etrian Odyssey can manage to quite get it right.

Marx Headroom posted:Achievements are the game's way of telling me "Hey that thing you just did was pretty cool!" I feel no need to collect them. I'm not gonna simp for a texture pack. I find it super annoying when achievements are just stuff you have to do to finish the game. Who cares! Give me achievements for weird poo poo or don't bother at all imo. Anyway I'm buying kirby today.

Anyway I'm buying kirby today. I feel the same way. Fallout 3's achievements were quite bad in that way. I really enjoy the ones that either are for weird stuff, or they push you out of your comfort zone. "Beat L4D2 in Realism mode" hahahahaha no fuckin thanks, but I appreciate that it's there.

I can only assume this is still true.

Anyway I'm buying kirby today. Yeah. Achievements can be great, but not the ones for just doing mandatory stuff. They're good for giving you goals after you've beaten a game and are looking for cool stuff to do.
